ex-Stormy Monday wrote:Another Sealord for the list: Akora Be, registered in Nantes and seen moored in Rochefort on 11/09/2012, so unable to advise sail number or any other details. Very smart appearance, windscreen (don't know whether this was standard as I'm not familiar with the Sealord but am capable of reading the model name on the hull band).

The windscren is not a standard fitting for the Sealord. It was a standard fitting for the Oceanlord, however.
Probably the fixed windscreen was added during a refit. In consequence the spray dodgers for both boats are different.
They are both collapsible. I cannot remeber further details.

A Happy New Year to all Sealord owners and crews from sunny Gibraltar.

Let us explore the possibilities this year of arranging a Sealord meet. ...that would be fun.

Hi all,
I am considering on buying an old Sealord. My question for the owners would be: how much hulls of these boats are affected by osmosis? Is it really necessary earlier or later to do the treatment if it was not done? Any "hidden" serious issues were found during your experience of handling these boats? I read about lower shroud week chain plates. Thank you.

Laska (pictured on the Westerly Owners site) may well be our dismasted Sealord. I have emailed the owner who has confimed it and I'll email him again informing him of this thread.

Hi Chris,
you Â´d see that the boat need work. im starting in one month, unless someone want it like this.
the mast was replaced because a wire brokes when sailing, and the original mast goes to the deep of sea. i bought this one (soromap) new in france.
the boat also need a new mainsail, the actual one is ready for the garbage. but she has a lot of sails in very goog shape, 2 autopilots autohelm 7000, radar, windpilot aries...
the engine looks terrible but works perfectly, it has 1900 hours. need a paint.
the shell is already dry (7-9% moisture), after 1,5 years drying. some places with delamination (you Â´d see in the photos), but mostly perfect.

Fair winds folks
